About this item

[*Read by the author - Tippi Hedren] In this absorbing and surprising memoir, one of the biggest names of classic Hollywood--the star of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds and Marnie --tells her story, including never-before-revealed experiences on the set of some of the biggest cult films of all time.For decades, Tippi Hedren's luminous beauty radiated from the silver screen, enchanting moviegoers and cementing her position among Hollywood's elite--beauty and star power that continue to endure. For too long Hedren's story has been told by others through whispered gossip and tabloid headlines. Now, Hedren sets the record straight, recalling how a young and virtuous Lutheran girl from small-town Minnesota became a worldwide legend--as one of the most famous Hitchcock girls, as an unwavering animal activist, and as the matriarch of a powerful Hollywood dynasty that includes her movie star daughter Melanie Griffith, and rising star Dakota Johnson, her granddaughter.
